Best cannoli Ive tasted in Melbourne.
Light and airy, not too sweet, not oily. Freshly piped at 9:30am. A little pricy for a small one $4. And short opening hours. But definitely delicious
I think this place is over rated. I had my expectation right above the clouds before I went. After having the cannoli, I was down right disappointed. True the pastry was crunchy. But the filling is totally tasteless. It taste like 10% vanilla and chocolate + 90% water. There is not a single taste of chocolate nor vanilla. And it wasn’t freshly piped on the spot. Don’t think I will go back.
If you havent had cannoli before, dont go anywhere else. Just come here and you will never want to try any other cannoli out there.. Nestled off Barkley street you wouldnt imagine that this place has the best cannolis in Melbourne.. Little bit pricey but like all great dining joints this place is cash only. Whenever we go we would usually order the Fresh Ricotta but this time we gave the Vanilla & Choc Cream Pastry a go and it was amazing too. These go great with afternoon tea at home..
PROS
Located across from footscray market their Cream cakes are heavenly and cannolis are wonderful. Great range of biscuits as well and the canollis are so fresh that they’ve made them for me ON THE SPOT,everytime I’ve been there! Wonderful little shop with absolutely lovely staff.
CONS
A little on the pricier side but i think i feel that moreso because of the location they’re in and that there isn’t a nice comfortable seating area to enjoy their wonderful sweets in.would love to enjoy with a coffee.
FYI
they sell a range of italian items like coffee pots etc too. Would be great if they got permits to put tables out the front like many other businesses on this strip
My score 4 stars. J & I had lunch at Footscray today (near Cavallaro’s) & took home our first Ricotta cannoli & Chocolate/Vanilla custard cannoli – we ended up scoffing them as soon as we unpacked the car! J preferred the ricotta version. I also liked the ricotta, but really liked the chocolate part of the combo one too – the vanilla end was the least flavoursome/interesting IMO. Next time I’d just get a ricotta one. Overall the pastry was tasty & crisp, the fillings not too sweet (yay) ! Not cheap at $4 a pop (TA), but as a special treat they are well worth it. They place them in a nice white cardboard box to protect them if you don’t eat them in-house – the woman who served us was delightful…
Traditional recipe, approved by all of my Italian colleagues. It must be good! Order it fresh from the store, usually takes about 20mins. For more foodie goodness follow my ig: emptystomach
